favourable nature than heretofore. Letters, which I re ceived yesterday; bearing date 29th September, state that, the Turkish Fleet were at Myteline; that of the Greeks at . Samos, which place the former have,attempted to possess themselves of, but have been successfully repulsed. They may now be considered in a state of inactivity--quite hors de bataille ; in reference to Ibrahim Pacha, he is repre sented to be in a similar situation ; his father had remitted him stores and provisions for this year; but was totally unable to supply him with his most important want, namely, troops. Our hopes are, consequently, in some measure, flattering. General Boyer, with about 29 of his officers, have arrived here; they are, for the present, at the Laz, zaret. I also find that one of the steam-vessels, the Perseverance, with - Captain Hastings, had arrived at Napoli di Romania.' Upon the whole, fortune, at present, smiles upon us ; and, should site still be propitious in our behalf, this year will, in all probability, restore liberty and independence to Greece." It will be seen by our report of the ceremonies of Lord Mayor's Day, that the Civic Feast at Guild''ell passed off yesterday with great eclat, and if the auspi cious circumstances of the day may be considered a presage of the events of the year, we should say that the present Mayoralty will be as popular as it is likely to be honourable and advantageous to the citizens of London. It happens on this occasion that the LOAD MAYOR is a gentleman of high respectability,, possess ing considerable talent, and perfect knowledge of the Municipal Law which he will have to administer, united with habits of business, and the power of deliver ing his opinions, which altogether peculiarly fit him for the high office to Which he has, been called by Ma fellow-citizens. Nil 'principles too are such as to insure that support of existing Establishments, and that preservation of the rights of the Citizens of Lon don, which should ever be the aim of the Chief Ma gistrate of the Metropolis. Associated with him, as Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, are two Gentle men likewise of high character, of Constitutional and Loyal principles, men who are also likely to do honour to the important station they have been placed in. Unlike, therefore, those years in which factious dema gogues, from the chance circumstances of perverted po pular feeling, have been placed in situations of such im portance as these undoubtedly are, the present year's Mayoralty will afford an example of a sound, prac tical, and useful a dministration of civic affairs, and of the benefits which will result from authority being in the hands of those who glory in constitutional and loyal principles. t The distinguished Members of the Government, who honoured the feast with their presence, all bore testimony to the wisdom of the citizens of London in the choice they had made ; and the day seems to have arrived, again when good sense and right English feel- At->.4lg prevail every where over the flimsy pretensions of modern patriotism. A eery general rumour prevailed in the City yesterday, which Was said also to be current in the French capital, that all the Al lied Powers, with the exception of Austria, have entered into a compact to oblige the Turkish . Government to recognise theinde pendence of Greece,—a measure said to be peremptorily called for, for the preservation of tranquillity in Europe. The general opi je, that this country has been urging, for some months past, the expediency of such recognition, and that the European "era have been induced chiefly to listen to the wishes thus ex pressed, from an apprehension that Great Britain would other lae throw d own th e gauntlet. Private adv ices, received from v' Paris, state, that the remonstrance from that cit y was forwarded 1 0 Constantinople as early as the 4th of last month, and that the numeroust sittings of the Council of Min isters, within the last f 2 i ,! v eeks, related almost exclusively to this subject.

OF, CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) .THE NAVE* OF LADY GRESLRY. ►Mr.,,I-iAR'r bad a very pressing motion to make for an injunc tion et-parse, but as Lady G'resley had been waiting for several hours in Court for the purpose of hearing the Commission super seded .1 that had issued against her, lie would give way to that ap plication. The order ofsmpersedeas was now applied for by consent. Mr. Sevwx, appearing for Sir Roger Gresley, did consent, but his client could not, in doing that, admit that he had been inac curate regarding the information he had at first received, which. induced him to take the steps he had done. His LORDSHIP ordered the commission to be be quashed or sus pended, just as the regular form of getting rid of such a commis • 'ion was. He had great pleasure in making this order, and could not do it without expressing his conviction that Sir Roger G. had acted with great propriety throughout the matter. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.—(Tms DAY.) WRIGHTSON V. MASTER:HAN AND OTHERS. This cause, which had been already in part heard, arose out of the misconduct of a person named Merceron, who had been a magistrate and treasurer of the parish of St. Mathew, Bethnal- Green. This individual, having embezzled parish funds to the amount of one thousand pounds, . was, in pursuance of a resolution passed at a vestry meeting, prosecuted to conviction, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisoutnent, and to refund. At a subsequent meeting, the proceedings taken against Merceron were approved of, and the expellees were ordered to be paid out of the parish funds. The meeting also came to a resolu tion, by a majority of 169 to 41, that certain other pi rsons, who had abetted Merceron in his fraud, should, also be prosecuted ; and, at a meeting of the churchwardens, overseers, and trustees of the poor, held on the 9th 1819, that resolution was confirmed, and a Mr. E. Cumford, a parishioner, haying been very active in the prosecution of Merceron, was empowered to take proceedings against those alleged offenders. A memorandum to this effect was signed by the parish officers. The persons contemplated by the resolution were tried before the Lord Chief Justice, who having recommended a reconciliation between all the parties, his evidence was offered and a verdict of acquittal was the necessary result. Aiesers. Knight and Freeman, the solicitors employed by Mr. Cumford, sent their bill of costs to that gentleman, who, having become insolvent, they selected the plaintiff, one of those who signed the memorandum before alluded to, and received the amount from him. The plaintiff filed the present bill against the other persons, whO had with him, attached their signatures to the document in question, praying that they be compelled to pay their respective proportions of the loss sustained by him. The Vice CHANCELLOR thought that as the plaintiff made himself equally liable to Messrs. Knight and Freeman, he was en- titled to contribution from those persons who had signed with him. It was, in his Honour's opinion, no answer to the bill that the defendants held at the time official situations, inasmuch as they were at the time not acting in a matter connected with their offices ; neither did he think that the parishioners who concurred in the proceeding could be resorted to by the defendants. The prayer of the plaintiff was allowed with costs against all the defendants except Cumford, who had not signed the Memorandum, and another defendant, who had, before the institution of this suit, tendered his contribution. COURT OF KING'S BENCH-.-(THIS DAY.) MOO v. santowns. This was an action on a bill of exchange to the amount of 1,0951. against the, defendant, as acceptor. It was tried at the Sittings after last Term, and a verdict given for the plaintiff. Mr. ScAaLerr moved this day for a rule-to chew cause why the verdict should not be set aside. The bill of exchange (he observed) had been accepted by the defendant, for the AO cornmodation of a gentleman of the name of De Lisle, who through the agency of a person named Cotes got it discounted by the plaintiff at a usurious consideration. This was the defence qt the trial, and though De Lisle had positively sworn that he had given one hundred pounds above five per cent. for having the bill discounted, yet three witnesses having keen examined on behalf of the plaintiff, (who swore that they would not believe De Lisle on his oath,) the Jury gave no credit to his testi mony, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff. The Learned Counsel produced the affidavit of De Lisle, averring that these witnesses had no grounds to swear that his testimony should not be relied upon, and that lie would be able to spew this if he had an opportunity of cross-examining them ; and he also pointed out some inconsistency in the evidence of Cotes. On these grounds the rule was grq,nted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—(Tins DAY.) A LIAM V. WEST. Mr. Sergeant TADDT, on the part of the plaintiff, moved for a rule to thew cause why the verdict thr his client in this case, which was tried before Mr. Justice Holroyd, should not be in creased. The action was brought for recovery of the sum of 46!, being the value of cattle which belonged to the deceased Edward West, whose will was proved by the plaintiff before the Bishop of Chichester in January lust, and by the defendant before the Prerogative Court of Canter bury in June following. The cattle got into the defendant's hands. The Learned Sergeant contended before the Judge at the trial, that the plaintiff's probate was preferable to the defendant's, because it was prior in date, and issued by the proper Court. He however, now felt bound en mention, that although the Learned Judge had do►►bts upon the point, and therefore reserved it for the consideration of 'the Court, yet hie opinion leaned against the plaintiff. His Lordship, therefore, directed the Jury to find in part for the plaintiff, on the express understanding of the verdict being granted in deference to the Counsel's argument. The Learned Sergeant now submitted, that his client should be allowed the sum.—Rule granted. MORRISON V. MUSPRATT, Mr. Sergeant WiLnE moved for a rule to flow cause why the verdict for the plaintiff in this case, which was tried before the Lord Chief Justice Abbott, at Lincoln, should not be set aside and a new trial granted.—Rule granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—(Tuts DAY.) (Application in forma pauperis.) A person, apparently of the Jewish persuasion, made application as the Court were rising, for leave to put iu an appearance in person. Ile stated that his name was Jennesse, and that he resided at No. 27, Picket -street, Stratal. He had been subpaquied by this Court, on en information under the Hawkers' and Pedlars' Act, and as he had suffered great misfortunes, he was deprived of the means of em ploying Counsel, and prayed the Court to allow him to make an appearance in person. An application of so unusual a nature caused a consideration in the Bench as to whether they could de part so muck from the established rule, and the applicant was ex amined very closely. He stated that his attorney had arrested him a few days since for 75/., and replied to an intimation from the Court, that he was ready to swear that he was not worth 51. after the payment of his debts. Baron Hu Li.ocx—l see no reason why a man should not be a ll owe d to pursue such a course, if he has not the means to em ploy Counsel. Baron Gamtast—Why, your clothes are worth more than 51. Baron Hut,Locx---The clothes are always excepted. To further questions the applicant answered, that an attach ment would be issued at the suit of the Attorney-General if he did not make au appearance to-day ; and that if he obtained the indulgence of the Court so far, his friends would employ Counsel in 'answer to the information, to which he had a good defence. After some further discussion the Court granted an order for an appearance to be entered, and the usual papers to be supplied to him gratis. lie then withdrew. C AISTOTHER ROAINSON.)

Dr. Lusiiiiiccrox then proposed that Mr. Alarchant should pay half the amount of costs at once, and that the vicar should pay the other half; and, after some hesitation, this proposition was acceded to.—The Court then adjourned. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT--(T a il DAY.). William Harrison was brought up to be heard on his petition. His attorney (Mr. Wragg) not answering, he was ordered to stand down, when a person stepped forward, and stated that he attended for the purpose of opposing the petition. Mr. Howell, the Controimioner, told him he had notgiven no tice of opposition. The creditor stated his nam e t o be Mr. Mosely, :and repliqd that he believed he bad given the proper notice of 20 days. The COMMISSIONER ordered the notice book to be searchCa, and it appeared that the notice was given a day too late. Mr. Mosely—lt is a very bard thing ; I ant a creditor fOr 981. and have a very strong case against him. COMMISSIONER,--1 cannot help it; the Act hat arranged the time of notice. The Court have taken great pains for the conve. nience of creditors, and they must conform to the established rule. Creditor—He obtained 98/. worth of goods from me a few day, before he went to prison. When I entered the notice, the clerk showed me where to write it. lam certain that it was on the right day, and if it ►s stated wrong, it must be the fault of the clerk. An Attorney, who attended for a creditor named Lamb, lug. gested that a cross-examination would convict him of the fraud on Mr. Moody. Cotmr—l cannot adopt 4 course of proceeding which is not usually followed. If creditors do not observe the proper course, they must suffer by their own acts. I shall cross-examine on the schedule of course. _ Mr. Mosely enquired, if by being made an assignee he would be entitled to erose-examine.

CORK, Nov, 7.—On Sunday morning one of our City Sheriffs, John Wallis, Esc., while patroling Barrack•street, attended by the Peace Officers of the City, arrested a man of the name of James Coghlan. A struggle ensued, which provoked Mr. Wallis to strike the man with a loaded pistol which he held in his hand, in the act of doing so, the con tents of the pistol were accidentally discharged into his head. A Coroner's Inquest was held upon his body, and con ducted with becoming rigonr, when the following verdict was delivered :—" That the deceased .Tas. Coghlan came by his death in consequence of a shot from a pistol, in the liand of John Wallis, Esq. one of the High Sheriffs of the city of Cork, which accidentally went off, while in the act of making . a blow at the deceased, while he, the said Sheriff, was in the execution of his duty—but we cannot separate without expressing our opinion, that striking the blow when a loaded pistol was in his hand, was indiscreet and imprudent."—Cork Constitution.

GRATITUDE.--The first prisoner confined in Hors ham gaol after its erection, was the person who con tracted for building it. We have just heard that the honour of Knighthood has been conferred on Captain Charles Malcolm, who at present commands his Excellency the Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland's yacht. We formerly had occasion to notice the remarkable, and, we believe, unexampled circumstance, of there being three Knights in the same family. Sir Charles is now the fourth. It is pleasant to reflect, that this mark of their Sovereign's approba tion has been bestowed where there -are not only gal lant deeds to merit it, but also personal honour and private worth to adorn it. —Dumfries Courier.— NOTE, The father of this distinguished family of Knights (including General Sir John Malcolm and Admiral Malcolm) is, we believe, a farmer in Dum fries-shire, and his sons have made their way in the world by their merit alone.--Editor of Me Morning Chronicle. Notwithstanding La Porte, the French actor's, clear and distinct pronunciation of the English language, he ,very reluctantly entered into an engagement with the Manager of Drury-lane. The recollection, however, that T. P. Cooke had been so rapturously and libe rally received in Paris, overcame his scruples, and he accepted Mr. Price's terms. _ _ La.

Harley aliti La Porte perform the two Sostas. FINE WRITING.—Mr. Fulcher, bookseller of Wis hed), is in possession of a written copy of the Lord's Prayer, the Creed, and Ten Commandments ; also the name and residence of the writer, the month and date of the year when written, all within the sire of half crown ; and the Lord's Prayer within the compass of a silver penny ; wrote by Mr. Kent, schoolmaster, of Spalding, without the aid of glasses, and the clearness with which the writing is executed does the artist great credit.—Cambridge Chronicle. Salt is fast finding its way into use among gar deners, as well as farmers. Mr. Thomas Hogg, au eminent florist, at Paddington, invariably mixes soh in his compost for hyacinths, and considers it essential to the whole bulbous tribe. The vintage in France has been this year most abundant, and the grapes of the very finest quality, and it is said that a period of nearly 50 years has elapsed since they have had so great a crop, either in quantity or quality, as the wine of 1826, will, it is said, be long highly prized and eagerly sought after.— The crop of apples has been also very great, and a gen tleman who lately travelled through Normandy, says that the quantity of eider will be this year immense. A Lady at Southampton one day meeting her So licitor, was thus accosted by him—" How do you do to-day, Madam ?" To which she replied—" I really am afraid to give you an answer, for fear you should make me pay for it !" The same Solicitor, it is added, on perceiving the Lady to be.exceedingly flushed, said to his Clerk who was with him, " What aferifacias !" —(a fiery jiwe she has.) THE PIGS AND THE SILVER SPOGN.—The Earl of P.— kept a number of swine at his seat in Wilt shire, and crossing the yard one day he was surprised to see the pigs gathered round one trough, and mak ing a great noise. Curiosity prompted him to see what was the cause, and on looking into the trough he perceived a large silver spoon. Just at this crisis a servant maid came out, and began to abuse the pigs for crying so. " Well they may," said his Lordship, " when they have got but one silver spoon among them all."---This anecdote is generally related of Foote. CORRUPTION. —In my youth I thought of writing a satire ou mankind, but now in my age I think I should write an, apology for them. Several worthy men, whom I know, fall into such unexpected situa tions, that to me, who know these situations , their conduct is matter of compassion , and not of blame. Sir Robert Walpole used to say , that it was fortunate so few men could be prima ministers , as it was best that few should thoroughly know the shocking wick» edness of mankind. I never heard him say, that all men have their prices; and I believe no such expres. ' i o n ever came from his mouth.—lf'alpole.
